Stanley Gutheridge was born in England in 1873. Correspondence indicates his siblings were named Hamond, Laura and Mabel. Stanley received his early education at Falmouth British School. In 1894 he obtained a second class in the advanced stage certificate in applied mechanics. In 1899, in London, England, Stanley married Florence Jane (surname unknown). They had three children, Leonard, Hilda and Stanley Herbert “Hub”. The family came to Canada in 1910 to a farm near McLean. In 1912 they settled in Moose Jaw at 913 Caribou St. West.
Stanley was employed by Robin Hood Mills as an operating engineer and machinist. He left that employment in 1915 and it appears he went to Scotland for the remainder of that year, as there are health insurance cards and an unemployment book in his name, issued in Renfrew Scotland. From spring 1916 to July 1918 and again from August 1919 to May 1930 he was employed as an operating engineer at the City of Moose Jaw Power Plant. In 1930 the plant was acquired by the National Light & Power Company Ltd. In May 1932, due to the Depression, many employees, including Stanley were laid off.
From February 1933 to November 1933 he was temporarily employed at the Saskatchewan Co-Operative Creamery in Moose Jaw. In December 1933 he wrote exams and successfully obtained a Refrigerating Engineer’s Certificate. In the 1940's he was employed again at the Saskatchewan Co-Operative Creamery.
Stanley passed away on September 26, 1949. Florence passed away on Jan 6, 1955. They are both buried in Moose Jaw.
